D3: Light my fire

I came across this book, "Whiter Shades of Pale" by Christian Lander. Ummm, it is HILARIOUS! Basically it is a book filled with 92 things "white people" like. As a white person I found it absurdly astute, but very whitty as well.
I bring up the book because one of the things we white people like is Photography. Here is a quick exerpt from this section.
"..what they need is some sort of system whereby they do not need any actual talent but can still create something that is considered to be artistic. Photography! For a photograph to be considered art, a white person need only take a blurry picture of a skyline, blow it up,then mount it to their wall. If they take the same photo with a vintage camera, specifically a Lecia, then it is groundbreaking."
In spirit of being white and liking photography, my day 3 is a tribute to "creating art" by painting with fire.

What's this project?

I found out about this a couple years ago. I really wanted to do this for 2010, but forgot. Even though I could have started anytime of the year, I really wanted to start at the New Year.

Ultimately, the goal for me is to practice my photography and have a "year in review".

If you are interested in learning more about this concept, please check out the link below.
